Prepare for the interview process

The next step in the process is a series of interviews—which may be on the phone, via video conference, or in person—to assess your skills

For technical interviews, practice coding on a whiteboard, in Google Docs, or over the phone. You can find sample coding questions on sites like LeetCode, CodeLab, Quora, and Stack Overflow. The book “Cracking the Coding Interview” is also a good resource

Structure your interview answers: It’s important to show how you arrive at a solution, so think out loud

Helpful questions to think about as you prepare:

How do you work best, both as an individual and as part of a team?

What challenges have you faced at school or at work and how did you overcome them?

Which of your skills or experiences would be assets in the role and why?

If you don’t understand a question, ask your interviewers for clarification and take the time you need with responses.
